A day designed as a sensory and historical journey, traversing the golden age of the French Riviera, from the extravagance of Belle Époque palaces to the secular power of a legendary principality.

Morning: Dreams and Perfume on the Corniche

Our private vehicle will pick you up at your hotel in Nice. The day begins with the sublime Corniche road, offering breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. Our first stop is a gem of Cap Ferrat.

1. Private tour of the Villa and Gardens of Ephrussi de Rothschild

• Immersion in a Pink Palace: Perched on the narrow isthmus of Cap Ferrat, this villa is the embodiment of Baroness Béatrice de Rothschild's extravagant dream.

• A Treasure Trove of Art: Inside, discover her refined collection: 18th-century furniture, Gobelins tapestries, Sèvres porcelain, and works by masters such as Fragonard. Each room tells the story of the erudition and impeccable taste of a passionate woman.

• The Nine Gardens: Take a stroll through what is considered his “total work of art.” A symphony of colors and scents, the themed gardens (Spanish, Florentine, Japanese, exotic, etc.) are arranged around a temple of love, with a panoramic view of Villefranche Bay and Beaulieu as a backdrop. A true botanical world tour.

2. The Art of Fragrance at Parfumerie Gallimard in Eze

• Head for the medieval village of Èze, perched like an eagle's nest overlooking the sea.

• Guided Tour of the Workshops: Immerse yourself in the secrets of French perfumery. A guide will introduce you to the history of aromas, the cultivation of perfume flowers (May rose, Grasse jasmine) and the ancestral techniques of cold enfleurage and distillation.

• The Education of the Nose: Test your sense of smell by discovering top, middle, and base notes. It is a unique experience where the most delicate craftsmanship meets science.
